When Brad from Shaking Hands Productions (he’s a fabulous Virginia-based videographer, go have a look!) emailed me with his proposal story, I knew I had to share it with you.  While Brad’s girlfriend Lyndsey was modeling for one of his videos Brad surprised her by proposing and Adam Miller caught the moment on video.   I teared up watching!

My proposal to Lyndsey from Shaking Hands Productions on Vimeo.

Tim Gosnell was on hand to take photos of the proposal - I adore the shocked look on Lyndsey’s face.

Travis and Jennifer’s wedding was full of fabulous details and was made even more wonderful by the amazing photos from Katie Stoops of Open Air Photography.

Cowboy boots for the bride + a fluffy sunflower bouquet = perfection.

The Marriott Ranch was the perfect venue for the couple’s casual farm wedding.  It’s nestled in tiny Hume, VA (about an hours drive from Washington DC) at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Le sigh - look how beautiful it is!

I don’t know what it is about orange weddings that gets me.

I absolutely adore Laura from Laura Kay Photo (and her fabulous new blog, go check it out) - her work is so classic and she was a perfect choice for Melissa and Steve’s beautiful Virginia wedding.

What’s so great about this wedding is the sweetness of it!  OK, without further adieu…

When Cyd, who works for Bella Figura in addition to being one of our fabulous EAD contributors, told me about this wedding, I just had to share it with EAD readers.  Stewart and Darryl’s wedding, photographed by the always-amazing Eleise Theuer, is just full of beautiful and personal handcrafted details!  The couple chose a wedding location close to Stewart’s heart, Melville Farm in Reedville, VA.  The farm has been in Stewart’s family for several generations and was the perfect backdrop for the green, brown, and cream color palette. 

Stewart accessorized her Monique Lhuillier gown with a beautiful brown, green, and cream handmade collar by Etsy seller Bonzie, a chocolate brown wrap by J. Crew, and shoes by Cydwoq.
